@arpie Thank you … I think I may just have a cold … just seems to go on and on. The chemist reminded me that my immune system will still be low. I think I got it from my great niece who is 9 months old and had a cold. Too much snuggling! The whole family caught it. Little germ! Weird for me as I seriously haven't had a cold or the flu for about 6 years.
The appointments! I know what you mean … they just keep on coming! I actually cancelled all of mine last week to get over the cold and cough. It was amazing not going out. I'm on the sub cut Herceptin so I have to go in to the hospital every three weeks, heart function test every three months, and chemo onc I think is the same. But then there can be breast physio too. I hope we don't get sick going into the hospitals in flu season. In September I should be hospital free. I think cancer is turning out a workforce of Personal Assistants...we certainly are learning how to set appointments, multitask and navigate our way through a sea of paperwork and health care institutions. Hardly time to be 'sick'. I really worry about people who have trouble navigating the system. I hope social workers are helping them or family members or friends. I hope you have an excellent holiday from the appointments and can relax! Xxx
